Ongoing Events
Anyone interested in having their name added to attend a future LEED GA class, please contact Paulette.
The recent LEED GA class in Mobile, AL taught by Beth Brodbeck of Brodbeck and Co. had a full class of 17 participants. A subsequent study group is planned for January to further allow the group to study for their LEED GA exam. White-Spunner Construction graciously allowed the class to be held in the conference room within their LEED Silver office building. Paulette Doggett of Mc Aleers Furniture in Mobile, AL did an excellent job assisting with the organization of both the class and LEED GA study group. Since the method of first obtaining a list of people interested in taking the class and then scheduling a class around their schedule seemed to work so well, it is anticipated that this method will be used in the future.
